MIDI CC 7 creates texts in statusbar about qtractor

[rncbc]

do you have a screenshot for evidence? what exactly does it show in the leftpart of the status bar?
i'm puzzled as bad, unless you've made some MIDI CC#7 (channel volume) controller shortcut on something (some menu command) perhaps?

Hi Rui,

The text is generated in case you have a session with track that has same channel as the messages - see qtractorMainForm::midiCtlNotify (and the text is displayed in Message log too - I did not see that yet). The contents are:

21:54:25.943 MIDI CTL: Controller, Channel 1, Param 7, Value 71 (track 0, gain 0.559055)
21:54:25.970 MIDI CTL: Controller, Channel 1, Param 7, Value 69 (track 0, gain 0.543307)
21:54:25.978 MIDI CTL: Controller, Channel 1, Param 7, Value 72 (track 0, gain 0.566929)
21:54:26.115 MIDI CTL: Controller, Channel 1, Param 7, Value 77 (track 0, gain 0.606299)
21:54:26.124 MIDI CTL: Controller, Channel 1, Param 7, Value 74 (track 0, gain 0.582677)
21:54:26.134 MIDI CTL: Controller, Channel 1, Param 7, Value 69 (track 0, gain 0.543307)
21:54:26.139 MIDI CTL: Controller, Channel 1, Param 7, Value 74 (track 0, gain 0.582677)
21:54:26.166 MIDI CTL: Controller, Channel 1, Param 7, Value 76 (track 0, gain 0.598425)
21:54:26.186 MIDI CTL: Controller, Channel 1, Param 7, Value 75 (track 0, gain 0.590551)
21:54:26.206 MIDI CTL: Controller, Channel 1, Param 7, Value 74 (track 0, gain 0.582677)
21:54:26.219 MIDI CTL: Controller, Channel 1, Param 7, Value 73 (track 0, gain 0.574803)

I see the following options to go:

1. Remove appendMessages in qtractorMainForm::midiCtlNotify completely
2. Remove appendMessages in qtractorMainForm::midiCtlNotify for release-builds (my preference)
3. Add an option to show these messages only if the option is enabled

What do you prefer (some other way)? If you want I could create a patch (OK - 3. would take a bit longer).

For now I'll create a patch for 2. and add it to my embedded-build because this is an issue that causes additional XRUNS.

go ahead with 2. schnitzeltony@49f2624 looks good.

Complete new experience: I could use master volume as effect now :)
